 Velbon Ultra Luxi SF Tripod June 28, 2008

Excellent travel tripod! It's not very tall but makes up for it with its portability and lightness. I have used the tripod with my Minolta 7D and 28-75 f2.8 lens without a problem. It easily fits in most backpacks and sets up quickly.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a nice portable tripod for travel.

Very good tripod for it being so small. I ordered this for my recent trip to Las Vegas and it worked perfectly. It held my Canon 30D without a problem.
Very stable for such light weight June 26, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I own a 1248 Gitzo Carbon Fiber tripod with an expensive ball-head that cost 8 times what this little gem costs. The Gitzo + head weighs much more than the Luxi SF.
For 90% of my use which includes a digital SLR with lenses up to 200mm f/2.8, and medium format Rollei and Mamiya cameras, I find myself bringing along the Luxi and leaving the Gitzo at home. I now only use my Gitzo for situations where I know there'll be high wind or when using long lenses with the Rollei MF SLR (which suffers from that massive mirror slap).
I take off 1 star because there's no center column hook for weighting the tripod down to add stability, and the only way to remove the platform on the included ballhead (to install a quick-release plate instead) is to use a torch to free the loktite.
Excelent Tripod for Canon G3 Camera March 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The tripod fits perfectly in my Beseler sling camera bag. I used it for the first time in my recent trip to Antelope Canyon in Arizona and the ball/socket head was perfect to get the right composition quickly (before the light shafts disappeared from the slots). It easily handles the Canon G3 weight even with telephoto or wide angle add on lenses.
High-Quality and Ultra-Small July 3, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Nice for traveling, this tripod is ultra-lightweight and takes up very little room (less than two pounds and a little over a foot long). It is very well constructed with smooth controls and comes with a custom carrying bag. No complaints, given the minimal size and weight it is designed for. Of course, it is not meant for use with a 15 pound camera-lens combination but works fine with my Canon 5D and 70-200 f4L lens 3-pound combo.
